Well it's all up to your price. SXOS with SX Pro, you get a dongle, jig and a license. With the one I linked you get more or less unlimited dongle power @mattytrog is doing dark magic with them but for "modchips".
The one from Aliexpress and Wish is like the SAMD, except they aren't battery driven and apparently their capacitors are hit and miss. This is all I gather from info on the forums.

I own a SX Pro and the SAMD v2. I'm waiting for another community dongle that I will buy as well, because I'm a dork(?)

there is! The good thing about the ones that isn't TX, is that you can load any CFW you want. Sure you can do it with a SX Pro after some fiddling but, it's all up to you in the end.

if you (or you know someone that) are good enough at soldering i'd suggrest putting a reed switch into the right joycon.
Ofter you hear about broken rails caused by bad jigs or overusage, while with the reed all you need is a magnet.

basically they all do the same thing - but the difference is the battery life (or capacitor life). The SX Pro has good quality in that it is small and uses good capacitors, but it only lasts for about 5 boots before you need to recharge the capacitor which takes seconds. If you leave it unused for a week or so I believe the charge also depletes. Not a huge hassle since the charge only takes like 3 seconds or so but still something that annoys some people.

The NS atmosphere - has a li-ion battery in it which can last for months once charged. can boot up your switch many many times and has more of a set it and forget it for a while style use. It is however much bigger than the sx pro but also comes with a little slot for the jig directly in the dongle so it is much more convenient for not losing your jig accidentally. It is also much cheaper.

Alternatively, if you're not wanting to spend a lot of money, you can use something like a paperclip to enter RCM once, install AutoRCM, and use your phone or computer to boot CFW on coldboots.
